  CHANGES: Android 12 (API levels 31,32) changes the default handling of the system Back press on launcher activities that are at the root of their tasks. In previous versions, the system would finish these activities on Back press. In Android 12, the system now moves the activity and its task to the background instead of finishing the activity. The new behavior matches the current behavior when navigating out of an app using the Home button or gesture.  Note: The system applies the new behavior only to launcher activities that are the root of their tasks—that is, to activities that declare an Intent filter with both ACTION_MAIN and CATEGORY_LAUNCHER. For other activities, the system handles Back press as it did before, by finishing the activity.
